Twitter! - week 3

I can honestly say that I have NEVER been interested or tempted to open a twitter account, so when I was asked to this week I had no idea what I was getting into or why I even needed to.  But I set it up and tweeted my idea of how children learn technology. Here is a picture of my very first twitter post ;)

You can see what I am saying by following my  twitter account through this link.

After tweeting I receive a question about my statement. I didn't even know you could do that!! I can see how this could work in a classroom. A discussion could be started through a statement put on by a teacher and children could respond. Twitter is a public forum though so unless there was some sort of privacy setting it could attract others not invited into the discussion and cause problems. The minimum age for joining Twitter is also 13 so it would not work (and I think there would be some upset parents if children were asked to start an account) for primary school aged children.
